The DOJ Hunter Biden scam

 Jonathon Turley:

“Hunter is resolved.”

Those words yesterday from Hunter Biden’s counsel, Chris Clark, were confident and certain. He declared the “five-year investigation” effectively closed even as the Justice Department insisted the investigation is “ongoing.”

If none of this seems to make sense, it is because it doesn’t.

For years, the political and media elite have struggled to “resolve” the disaster that is Hunter. They have finally done so with a long-predicted “controlled demolition” of the scandal by having the president’s son plead guilty to a couple of minor tax violations without a serious threat of jail time.

They even threw in a phantom felony allegation that will evaporate once Hunter completes a diversion program.

The diversion program is particularly insulting to the intelligence of the American people. Hunter is reportedly no longer an addict, having attended treatment and taken up painting. Yet he will be treated like he is a junkie picked up in a drug sweep, and everyone will pretend that this is about addiction rather than corruption.

The Justice Department continues to refuse to confirm what it means by an “ongoing investigation,” but it had often used this claim to refuse to share material with Congress.

There is reason to be suspicious. First, no one can explain why it took five years for the investigation of two minor tax counts and a gun allegation that could have been confirmed in a month.

Indeed, an IRS whistleblower alleged that Hunter was given preferential treatment and that the whistleblower’s team was removed from further work on the case by the Justice Department.

Hunter also never faced any charges after videotaping himself engaged in interstate violations involving a host of prostitutes and drugs. That is now simply material for his scrapbook.

There is a glaring omission of any charge under the Foreign Agents Registration Act despite the Justice Department using this charge freely against associates of former President Donald Trump like Paul Manafort.

However, again, it would not take five years to establish this crime (which was done in little time with Manafort). Hunter seems to have been simply given a pass on what was likely the greatest concern for the White House.

The most notable omission is the failure of any apparent investigation into the expanding scandal surrounding the influence-peddling operation of the Biden family.

Despite the release of evidence by the House Oversight Committee showing potentially millions of transfers to Biden family members from foreign sources, Attorney General Merrick Garland has blocked any appointment of a special counsel.

This refusal has continued even with references to President Biden as “the big guy” who was supposed to receive a percentage of the deals and the recent disclosure of bribery allegations by a trusted FBI source.

Notably, in his interview, Clark not only declared “the five-year investigation into Hunter … resolved,” he confirmed that he had no recollection of ever being asked about his client’s abandoned laptop by the investigators in Delaware.

If true, the Justice Department succeeded in spending more than five years investigating Hunter while avoiding the two most significant allegations: influence peddling and working as an illegal foreign agent.

It is akin to driving in a bumper car and avoiding any contact at all with another car … for over five years. It takes real skill.
...

There is more.

The legacy of the Biden administration and the Merrick Garland DOJ is to be the poster child for a two-tier justice system where the Bidens get away with what looks like they were running an influence-peddling operation that resulted in millions going to the family.  Democrats, who pushed a fraudulent claim against Trump for years must be so proud of their ability to bury the corruption also known as the Biden family business.

And:

 There is no reasonable doubt that President Biden was an active participant in an unlawful, international influence-peddling scheme.

With the provisos that every American is entitled to a presumption of innocence, and much of what is known of the Biden family crime organization is “alleged,” there is powerful evidence that President Joe Biden committed multiple felonies as a co-conspirator in an international fraud and racketeering scheme, regardless of whether he personally received bribes.

It is only because the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) are weaponized against the right, and give a free pass to Democrat leaders and progressive violence, that the President’s son, Hunter, and brother, James, have not been indicted for their participation in this enterprise, or that the President has not been impeached, though fear that Kamala Harris would replace him also may be at play. The news that Hunter has struck a deal with the DOJ to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and a failure to report drug use on his firearms application in exchange for probation with no jailtime, and a potential partial expungement of his record after two years, is a slap on the wrist that stays far away from implicating the President.
